Just be careful where and how you do it. Several years ago, there was a freak accident caused by something similar. It all started when a police officer on patrol in a small town near here spotted the back end of a pickup sticking out of a storage shed at the CO-OP grain elevator. The truck had apparently smashed through the overhead door at a high rate of speed. Upon further inspection, he found the roof of the PU lying in the bed, along with the heads of the two very dead occupants of the truck. It was assumed at the time that the force of the impact somehow sheared off the roof of the cab as well as their heads. It wasn't until the autopsy two days later that they realized they had been decapitated prior to hitting the shed. As it turns out, one of the workers at the elevator was trying to stretch the kinks out of the cable on a boom winch truck. He had tied it off to a telephone pole, spooled all of the cable out across an old access road, and left it overnight with tension on it. The access road had not been used in years, and was mostly overgrown with weeds, so he didn't think anyone would be using it. Unfortunately, the driver of the PU made the mistake of driving down the abandoned road that same night (nobody will ever know why). It was estimated that his speed when he hit the cable was only 30-35 mph, but as it sliced off the roof and his head, he mashed the gas, slamming into the shed at nearly 60 mph. Paint marks from the PU on the cable confirmed the story for investigators. The guy that was stretching the cable on the boom truck was charged with manslaughter and given probation. He and the elevator company were later sued for wrongful death by both of the dead mens' families, and were ordered to pay several million dollars in damages.
